More reasons
to clean green.

That of
all the petroleum based chemicals approved for home use, only 30% have
been tested as to how they will affect the environment and our health.

According
to the EPA the quality of the air inside our homes can be 100 times more
toxic than the levels outside.

The
cleaning industry produces and uses 5 billion pounds of chemicals each
year.

The
average American home uses approximately 10 gallons of harmful chemicals
a year.

To help
you get started at home, here are some "green tips":

Use
antibacterial and antimicrobial products sparingly (if at all).
Just plain soap and water can do wonders and this doesn't increase
the risk of creating super-germs like antibacterial & antimicrobial
products can. Did you know the FDA recommends plain soap
and water over antibacterial cleaners?

Rather than using air-fresheners which can adversely affect your
breathing, use baking soda to remove stale odors in your
refrigerators and carpets. Just sprinkle some on your carpets
and then vacuum it up later. To create a delicious aroma why
not boil some cinnamon sticks, cloves, add some vanilla and mmmm, it
smells like home baked cookies.

Keep
your windows open as often as possible. Believe it or not,
often the air outside has less toxins than the air in our homes.
Our homes and buildings today are better insulated than ever before,
which keeps toxic fumes from upholsteries, fabrics, etc., trapped in
our homes. So open a window.

Nothing helps keep our homes and offices cleaner than using a good
door mat. Inside and outside the door. This doubles the
opportunities of trapping dirt, grime, pollens and grease.

Last
but not least, employ a cleaning service that will clean green for
you. Call us today and ask about our green cleaning.

How to Go Green: Cleaning

We are virtually
surrounded by cleaning products not only in our homes, but in our
business, stores, even floating in the air we breathe. We all
want a clean environment, but in our quest to haveone, we
may be harming ourselves and our loved ones.

Did you know
that most if not all of the cleaning products we all grew up with
are petroleum-based products. This creates not only
environmental concerns but health concerns as well. Rather
than continuing to use our old stand-by, why not opt for a natural
product. To go even one step further, why not switch to
cleaning methods that are good for the environment and save some
trees as well. A pleasant side effect of doing so....is better
on your pocketbook as well.
